Hope to see you people at the events and look forward to our battle reports too!

Whats the meta ...????

So far any decks with the right cards and match-up can win . Im going to list top 3 decks pros and cons. Just look at the list of decks that won in some battle roads.

First up in no. 1 is Zekrom Varients . The most successful varient of it will be a ZPST 

Before tornadus is released this deck is rarely played due to donphan prime running around and hitting zekrom for weakness. after releasing . U can see the Hype on this decks

Pros:Very fast. 
      If start First, possible to DONK for easy win. 
      


Cons:Trainer lock = GG (these deck run trainers. 
         Cannot play until late game. easily deck out. 


There are many varients out there so it still depends in their own respective meta. 

Pokemon Fun Facts #02

Im sure the majority of you guys played pokemon red/blue/yellow/green version before right? If you have, then this scene should be familiar to you people.

In Pokemon R/B/Y/G version, as we all know there are only 151 pokemon back then. From the description given by the gal, what pokemon do you think she is referring to?

If you guessed any of the pokemon from the original 151 pokemons, then you are wrong!

The Answer is Munna!

Moon-na~

Evolve into Musharna with a Moon Stone

Mt.Moon…

Hmmm I see what they did there

Yes now you must be saying ‘YOU MAD?’ it haven’t even existed during the R/B/Y/G era. There has been rumours that the creator of pokemon actually came up with more than 151 pokemons when it was first planned but only decided to release 151 and decided to scrap all the others.

But since the Black and White era was suppose to be similar to the original pokemon season, they decided to use ideas which were made back then into b/w.

Well all this are just rumours.

Hope all of you enjoyed this round of Pokemon Fun Facts. Let us know what you think of it. Leave comments and tell us what you would like us to do for the next installment of Pokemon fun facts!

Thanks for reading! Till next time!

Card of the day : Electrode Prime

Today’s COTD will feature a card that has seen very little play or nearly no play at all. The card of the day today is……..Electrode Prime! Zzzzzt ( this is suppose to be the sound or electric)

Use Colgate

First we break down the stats

HP:90HP for a stage 1 Prime is really bad when you compare with all the other stage 1 primes like Donphan,Yanmega,Lanturn,etc.

Type and Weakness: With a lightning type, this means it will really suffer to it’s brother, Donphan. With a x2 weakness,it’s basically a free prize for decks like megazord or DnD if its left lying around on the field.

Attack: Gigashock! 1 Lightning and 1 colourless to do 30 damage and do a 10 damage spread to 2 other pokemon? Wow that’s so game breaking.period. Obviously electrode cannot be a main attacker of any deck. With the energy cost and the damage it’s dealing. You’re better off using other pokemon to attack.  This also shows that Electrode is more of a support pokemon.

Poke-power: Energymite! This is where Electrode gets to shine. 2 words,Energy Acceleration. Make it 3 words RISKY energy acceleration. Why i said its risky is because, first you knock out your own electrode, and then the opponent picks up a prize. Then look at the top 7 and look for as many energy and attach them in any way to your pokemons in play. Sounds good right? But what happens when you don’t find any energy there? Yup free prize.  There are also reasons why you would want to give a free prize. This is to have prize control. To maybe abuse using twins or to not allow your opponent use theirs.

We can pair Electrode prime with Research Record (COL) to control the top deck of your deck. Shift all the non energy to the bottom of the deck and keep the energies on top.

Where can we see electrode prime being used? So far I can only see it being used in a few decks. They are, Basic Variants( Zekrom/Tornadus/Reshiram),  Gothitelle and maybe Steelix.

The rating I give for this card (Electrode Prime) is in general.

Artwork 7/10: The art work has some humour in it actually. With Eletrode giving that ‘heh what you gonna do with me now’ I like the artwork

Playbility 3/10: Other than the decks that I mentioned above, it has no other use in other decks or on its own

This comes to an end of the COTD. Leave your comments and let us know of what you think. Look forward to our next article :D

Pokemon Fun Facts #01

I think I'll add a new section to our blog which is FUN FACTS!
Purpose is to give everyone a breather from the TCG and just relax with some interesting/weird/funny fun facts.

You can expect to see fun facts uploaded twice a week. (YES I CAN DO THIS) Since its much easier to write fun facts as compared to writing articles on deck/card analysis. :D

For the First Fun fact, we will be talking about... *Drum rolls*

WOBBUFFET

Here are some Dex entries for Wobuffet

-'It desperately tries to keep its black tail hidden. It is said to be proof the tail hides a secret.'

-'It hates light and shock. If attacked, it inflates its body to pump up its counterstrike.'

-'Usually docile, a Wobbuffet strikes back ferociously if its black tail is attacked. It makes its lair in caves where it waits for nightfall'

-'In order to conceal its black tail, it lives in a dark cave and moves at night'

So if you read all those words that i've underlined, you will know that wobuffet
1. Love dark places.( in order to conceal its black tail)
2. Able to inflate it's body ( like a balloon)
3. Will go crazy if the black tail is attacked.

Our main question now is, Why is the tail so darn important?

The answer is..... Wobbuffet IS the black tail.

The Wobbuffet we have all been seeing (The blue thingy) is just a blue rubber sac(Like a punching bag) to be used as a decoy for the black tail. So in other words, the blue part of wobbuffet is something like a defence mechanism. where it takes the blow for the black tail.

Weird stuff !

Looks like we've come to the end of our very first Pokemon Fun Facts. Let us/me know what you think of this section and you can also give me suggestions on what you want the next fun facts to be about. Till next time :D

Lockerkey~

Im back with a decklist!

Sorry for the lack of updates or post from my side. [Lockerkey] Been really busy with life.Spending too much time in a Secret Garden meditating. Yes this is the deck that i will be talking about today!

With the recent release of Emerging Powers, we got ourself a more reliable Liligant

Main Attacker: Liligant
For a stage 1, a 90HP-ed pokemon seems normal for a regular pokemon.

It's attack Bermusing Aroma which cost 1G for 20 seems bad at first. But when you read its effect, it is actually very good

Heads: The Defending pokemon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned
Tails: The Defending pokemon is now Confused

Which of this is bad? i think both of them are useful.

The Fire weakness is really unavoidable but the water resistance is really useful in certain situations (beartic,etc)




Secondary Attacker: Yanmega Prime

Since Yanmega can hit high damage/snipe for no energy, so why not just fit em in the deck too.

Its purpose here is to serve as a back up if Liligant were to fail.
We all know how good Yanmega is with the free attack thanks to it's poke-body and the free retreat cost.

Another point is because he is a GRASS type.What has being a grass type got to do with anything? Well it has something to do with our Supporting pokemon.









Supporting Pokemon: Sunflora/Vileplume

The BEST pokemon searcher in the format! (for grass pokemon at least) .
Why i said this is the best pokemon searcher in the format? Its because of its Poke-Power Sunshine Grace, which allows you to search for any grass pokemon in your deck.

Thats awesome! This means once set up, you are able to nab any grass pokemon from your deck and almost all your pokemons are grass types.

Vileplume also known as Gengar's best friend in the last format aka VILEGAR.

With the Poke-body Allergy Flower to block out trainer/items from being played. How this is good for the deck is,with liligant inflicting status condition on your opponent's pokemon, they will have no outs unless they retreat manually. Switches and Super Scoop Ups will be rendered when vileplume is out.

Vileplume is also a grass pokemon. This means that it can easily be searched out by Sunflora





Pokemon Techs

Some of the possible techs for this deck would be;

Metapod HGSS - To help cancel out all the weaknesses of grass pokemons.

Leafeon UD/COL - With Liligant infliting conditions, leafeon can easily dish our 100 damage for a colourless.

These are not the only techs can be used. There are also other cards that can be teched in as well.

DECK LIST

Pokemon  27	T/S/S 22	Energy 11
4-3 Yanmega Prime 3-3 Liligant EP 2-2 Sunflora 1-1 Metapod 3-2-3 Vileplume	4 Pokemon Collector 3 Twins 3 Copycat 3 PONT 2 Juniper 3 Judge 2 Pokemon Communication 2 Rare Candy	8 Grass Energy 3 Rescue Energy

Been trying this deck using REDSHARK. You guys try it out and experiment with it. With this deck you can lock the opponent in a few ways. It can hit hard or snipe the bench and lock trainers also.
So give it a try it, it might suprise you :D

Thanks for reading my article and look forward to another one of my post this week
